    Traore is gash, rather take a punt on a kid from the Championship

    It's the Leicester model though.

    Buy top young potential that's already broken through and is playing first team football for £30M and then sell on for £80M a couple of years later. Seems we dodged a potential bullet in the summer with CDK so maybe this lad is the new chosen one.

    Also, when you think about it it's the only way to progress as no one else from the major European Leagues will pay that much for a youngster and the PL big boys prefer players who've shown more over a longer period.

    Get him signed up <ok>

    Cresswell & Shackleton both started in the Cup for Millwall, 2 down at HT to the Blades though.

    Dan James featuring from the start in a strong Fulham line up and currently they're 1-0 up at Hull.

    Tyler Roberts on the bench for QPR at Fleetwood where it's 1-1 at the moment.

    We didn't get anywhere near that fee for Raphinha though. Is this kid as good?

    Gnonto was a much lesser fee so worth the risk.

    YEP now featuring the Georgino Rutte story, is it real? Maybe the price has been exaggerated, maybe the price is spread over years including lots of bonus targets to reach? Who can say and we know Radz and 49ers were going to do £35m on Gakpo or CDK, but………. A lot for a kid

    Waiting for Romano before I get exited

    Dan James puts Fulham through deep into injury time 2-0 to Fulham

    Poveda wins man of the match for Blackpool against Forest puts a few quid on his value
